Unlocking the phone isn't the same as decrypting it. The article merely states that Apple extracted unencrypted content from a locked phone. In this case, the content is encrypted.
I read it. He don't grasp the technical issues - sadly this is going partisan it seems.
No one is compelling apple to weaken their encryption scheme because it is already weak. They are just asking for them to weaponize existing weakness (the weakness being apple having the ability to update the software on the device)
Why do I imagine Tim Cook saying to the FBI "You'll have to find me first!" before laughing manically and disappearing into a cloud of smoke leaving behind a iPad with Apple Maps loaded.
Yeah end to end encryption I believe wasn't introduced until iOS 7 - this would mean that prior to that the device, while still locked - could be vulnerable to potential exploits allowing someone to grab at least some data that may be unencrypted from the phones storage
This has been posted multiple times. What they are asking Apple to do now is fundamentally different. They are asking Apple to create a custom firmware and push it to a phone that disables security protections that are there to protect YOU!
You think anyone really cares what's on that terrorist's work phone? They can already easily get call and text records from the ISP. Same with email records etc. This is a move to get Apple to create a backdoor into their phones.
